Hi again everyone! So today was day 4 in london and although it started slow with class and all...it could not have been a better day! Any day that ends with gelato with the girls and an amazing art museum is perfect in my book!
First off, since me, morgan and emily were geniuses and stayed up till 4 in the morning last night. We did NOT wake up to run at hyde park..obviously. Who could have predicted that? But that's ok, we slept in and made to class almost defnitely late..which was excellent. Our teacehr was not too thrilled with us but hey its the firs tday you know. Anyway...it was a pretty standard class, where george kennedy (our prestigous professor who Emily totally thinks is hot for an old man..hmmm) rambled on about newspapers and more newspapers for what seemed like an eternity. Did i mention I'm an advertising major? Whoops. So basically...class is not too fun but I just sort of sit there and draw pictures and remind myself I am in london and that is awesome, so the boring prefessor i can handle.
After class, my roomates and I had 2 hours to spare before our tour of the Museum of London (basic history of the city and such)...so we went to St. Pual tube stop by St. Pual's cathedral and went looking for lunch. I totally saw an amazing suchi place and started salivating as usual..but we ended up shoocing an AMAZING sandwich place (which i cant remember its name) but i was INCREIBLE. Im definitely going back..not to mention we were there in the financial district where everyone in suits were out for lunch! Good thing to see I say...future british rich husbands maybe?? Just kidding kev..but seriously kev-you would have loved the suits they wear...with color! Randy would die.
Next, we met up with the group and went to Museum of London-not that cool in my opinion but I'm more of an art girl myself. Kinda boring AND stops at the history of the city at 1690s which is weird, so we left after a bit and headed to explore the area. We do that alot here which is amazing...it is some of my favorite couple of hours, just walking and talking with the girls. We have seen so much in 3 days, it is incredible. My legs are incredibly sore, and my feet always hurt but its worth every step. We got some amazing pictures on our journey and ran across the Tate Modern Art Gallery which i was dying to see and decided to do that but not before we grabbed our first Pimms and lemonade in Britain! They are this certain kind of brit alcohol..obvi with lemondade and frut. So good and very girly and british. I have had them before in the state but at this pub...they were so good!
The Tate was INCREDIBLE. I love art. I put my ipod in, listened to some rilo kiley and walked on my own through. Its so relaxing at art museums i think. Its one of my favorite things i have seen yet, and didnt have enough time to finish so we are going back again soon! Can't wait! After the tate, we went back after an extremely crowded ride on the tube..emily is cloaustrophobic..so that was sad but also kinda funny. Sorry emily. ;) We got home, made dinner, hung out, and went on a long walk in search of gelato with morgan, em, and megan. It was definitely worth the walk.....so good! We took pictures to mark the occasion. Wonderful day all in all! AND tomorrow...we are going to a pub tomorrow right after class to watch the chelsea game, the football championship IN CHELSEA where we live which is awesome!! It is the big thing that people get riled up about here, which would explain why the pubs were vene crowded tonight in preparation! I can't wait...lets just say..you might not get a post tomorrow night. hint hint. Expect drunk dials for those of you I can afford to call! haha..i love you all so much! cheers!
